💡 Healthy Short Pro-Tip: The “20-Minute Rule”
To maximize the benefits of these high-fiber meals, try to take at least 20 minutes to finish your box. It takes about that long for your “fullness” hormones (like leptin) to signal to your brain that you’ve had enough.
Eating slowly not only aids digestion but also prevents overeating, helping you stay energized throughout your shift!
